SWNOVELS Chapter 11 11: First Hunt
I started my training in swordsmanship and magic with my sister last year. Today is the day when we hunt weak monsters in the world's dangerous forest to gain levels and combat experience.
We can only explore the shallow parts of the forest where weak monsters lurk. The deeper you dive, the more powerful monsters awaiting for your tasty meat.
"Are you nervous, Raphael?"
"No, mom. To tell you the truth, I was really excited yesterday that I couldn't sleep last night."
"So that's why you woke up late this morning."
Mom asked me if I was fine with this but it's really the opposite. Mom was clad in her raven-black robe with a hood. She wore a long-sleeved clothing with the same lustrous raven-black shade. She also wore a knee-length skirt of the same color.
Her outfit was of a Relic grade item looted from the 60th floor of a dungeon. It was made from the black metallic threads of an S-ranked monster called Vermin Kaiser. The set had high resistance to magic, slash, weather effects and had a purification function. It also had an automatic fitting function that automatically adjusts its size to fitted comfortably with the owner.
She had a pair of black stockings that tightly squeezed her thicc thighs. The material were also as the same as mother's inner garments.
In her hands, she wielded a pitch-black five foot tall staff. It was her Legendary grade weapon, which was also one of the Seven Demonic Weapon, Demonic Staff Beelzebub.
When mothers told us the other day that it is the time for us to fight monsters, we jumped out of joy and train more vigorously with gleaming in our eyes. I was so excited because I can finally test the results of my training in a real battle.
I trained my body and abilities the whole year for this day to come. And this is the result of my work.

The hellish training of mother made my body as strong as a Level 10 human even though I am still at Level 1. My skill levels was of an average adventurer and my magic prowess was already at the level of an average student at the academy.
I seriously practiced my magic especially at Space-Time Magic. It is currently has the highest level at the mastery of Level 7 in my magic skills. It was because I really want to acquire Teleportation Magic.
Being able to teleport was useful in battles. I squeezed my brain just to learn the perfect teleportation spell that I want. There are many teleportation spells available but the Level 7 Portal and Wrap are the best.
Right now, I am exploring the forest with my mom behind me. I am looking for a weak monster to become my stepping stone to improve myself using the Detection Skill.
Detection is a skill that scans lifeforms in my surrounding. It conjures a translucent map that the user can only see. It can also be placed in the mind or in the peripheral vision but requires concentration.
The coverage of the Detection skill was proportional to the amount of the user's mana. My current Detection only covered around fifty meter radius. Two spots can be seen in my map, me and my mom.
"Looks like no monsters lurking this area. Hmm?"
As I survey that area, a new spot appeared from the ten o'clock of my map at fifty meters. I walked and approached the spot silently. I did not forget to activate the Concealment skill to blend with the surrounding.
I looked behind and I did cannot find mom anymore. Not even her presence can be detected by the Detection skill. She used a high level Illusion Magic spell to hide her presence.
I stopped my feet at ten meters from the creature and hid myself behind the bush. I used the God's Eye: Telescopic Eye to enhance my vision.
Upon my eyes, I saw a classic monster that often appeared in fantasy books. It was round shaped and had a crystal blue translucent body. The size was about a foot diameter and had a sluggish motion. In other words, a slime.
I did not waste a second and immediately use Analysis on the slime.

AGI: 40
Racial Skill: Regeneration
Skill: Danger Detection, Martial Art: 1

Resistance: Physical Attack Resistance, Pain Resistance, Exhaustion Resistance, Hunger Resistance

Its level is higher than mine at Level 11, but my stats are more superior than the slime. It had Danger Detection skill so I have to be careful to be noticed.
The slime also did some magic and can attack from distance. Its body can tolerate physical attacks and also learned some Martial Art. It had a Racial Skill Regeneration that heals injuries in fast pace and it's worth to plunder.
To kill it, I need to finish it in one attack by hitting its core. Its Regeneration skill and resistance to physical attacks made it difficult to kill it with half-hearted attacks.
I put my right hand on the hilt of my mithrill sword and unsheathe it from the scabbard. I positioned myself and activate some Martial Arts.
"Speed Boost, Power Up, Sense Enhance, Acceleration, Defense Break."
My whole body glow a pale light as I recite the Martial Art techniques. I readied my feet and lunged at the eating slime. Level 1 Speed Boost enhanced my the power of my foot so I moved really fast.
The slime immediately noticed my approach and shoot a Level 2 Water Magic: Water Gun. I avoided the Water Gun with my enhanced senses and immediately stepped to the left with Acceleration.
Realizing that I avoided its attack, its body lumens and ran away from the spot. The slime was trying to escape by enhancing its body using Speed Boost but so I do.
With the sword in my hand, I chased the slime and do not let it escape. As it reached my attack range, I brandished my sword and swing it horizontally.
The speed of the sword was incredible and its smooth motion created an arc. The sword easily penetrated the slime's soft body without resistance and immediately reached its core.
The sword sliced the slime's core in half and went through the other half of its translucent body. The sword successfully touched the air cleanly sliced the slime in half.
The slime stopped its movement indicates that it is already dead. I swing my sword one more time to washed off the slime fluids and sheathed it back to the scabbard. And that was the end of my first monster kill in this world.
"Phew. That was easier than I thought."
<Experience fulfilled. You levelled up by 3. MP +70, STR +80, DEF +40, MAG +70, MDEF +40, AGI +60.>
<Racial Skill Regeneration can be plundered. Would you like to obtain it? Yes/No.>
Yeah, I gained experience and levelled up by 3. My stats were also increased by 360 points in total or 120 points per level up. I feel like something warm flows throughout my body. I'm also feeling that I became more powerful than before.
The Racial Skill of the slime can be plundered and make it my Extra Skill. Having this skill will make me have more sustainability in battle. And Yes, I want to obtain this skill.
"Racial Skill Regeneration plundered. Extra Skill Regeneration has acquired."
Unique Skill Plunder was really a broken skill. It is more efficient at taking skills than the effects of my mother's Legendary grade weapon Demonic Rapier Mammon. After I levelled up, this is my stats now.

All of my stats are in three digits including the bonus stats. My STR stat already reached 200 points and my mana reserve almost reached 200. I gained a new skill that improves my sustainability.
"Congratulations on your first monster."
"Thank you for your guidance, mom."
"You're welcome, my son."
Without me noticing, mom undid her camouflage and revealed her presence again. She congratulated me for my successful first monster kill. It is the result of their training, after all.
"Then let's continue further."
"Yes, mom"
We continued to explore the forest and searched for the next monster to hunt. I spotted and hunted several slimes again levelled up again.
I used my Analysis and all the slimes almost had the same skill set. I stopped using Analysis and did not take their skills for every slime I encountered. I will use it again if I encounter a new monster.
